I get a lot of headaches, what can i do?

Question

I get a lot of headaches, at least 5/6 times a week. I’ve had migraines before, and I nearly die every time I get them.

Is it possible for something to be wrong in my head?

I eat healthy and exercise regularly. I don’t know why I get them.

I had this huge sinus problem for all my life, but the last of 3 years I’ve been taking medication for it and it’s almost gone.

Do you guys know what may cause the problem?

Thanks:)

Answer 1

There are typically three causes for Migraines: Hormones(more for girls), Foods or Smells and Stress(Even computer screens cause this stress). Take a close look at your daily life when you get them. Keep notes. It may tell you and your DR why.

1st - It may be time to get your eyes checked or rechecked. Needing glasses or having an old prescription are both causes for really bad headaches.

Next - Has your doctor said you get migraines? They are different from sinus headaches, even though they are both killer. See the DR. Tell him or her all the symptoms you have. Let them tell you they are migraines first. If they already have, then there are meds out there to help reduce how ofter you get them. I now only get them once a month when my hormones change.

Lastly, it could be the meds your taking now or even something you are eating. I have to avoid Cayenne Pepper, Clams and even MSG. These are just a few of the foods that can cause migraines.

So think about all the things you do each day and check with your DR. Don't let them rule you life. You will be so happy when they are under control.

Answer 2

I am a migraine sufferer and have been since i was 11. To get them under control you need a complete diet change and sometimes eveb lifestyle changes.

I'm not allowed to eat chocolate, cheese, drink alcohol and orange juice. Especially when im due for my period and when i just finish my period.

If i skip meals, i will get a migraine, get too stressed, and i also have to wear glasses because eye strain sometimes causes them to come on too. The best thing you can do is go to the doctor, be officially diagonosed with them, and then you can be prescribed proper medication for them. I am on tablets called Zomitropan (Zomig) and they work wonders for me. They're really strong, but me and my mum really depend on them.
